ADULTERAT1ON.

Extent to which AduIteration of Spices
and Condiments Prevails.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Thc chemists
of the Department of Agriculture under the
direction of the commissioner have for a
year or more been investigating the extent
and manner of food adulteration practiced
in this country, and report covering sew
eral branches of the work is IN process of
preparation. That portion relating TO
spices and condiments, prepared by Clifford
Richardson, is already completed. The IN
vestigatioDS show that no other kinds of
human food are adulterated to such an ex-
tent. OF twenty samples of ground cloves
examined only two were pure. The others
had suffered the extraction of their essen
tial oils and had been polluted by the
addition of Glove stems, allspice
and husks of various kinds. OF
eight samples of cayenne pepper only
one was pure. or ten samples Of mustard
none were pure, unchanged mustard,
though several had only suffered the loss
of their fixed oil. Others, however, CON
tanned quantities of wheat -four, the spuri-
Gus matter being in some cases two-thirds
of the compound. This made it necessary
to add tumcric acid (harmless) to restore
the mustard color. Ten samples of all
spice were examined, eight of which were
pure, and four samples of cassia were all
pure OF ten samples of ginger four were
pies of black pepper was found
to be what it purported to be-
a specimen sent from Baltimore
TO man who had an army contract was al
most entirely spurious. Cayenne pepper,
black pepper, husks and mustard hulls
were used to give favor and pungency,
while 'body'' was supplied by ground
beans and rice and color by charcoal. Two
samples of mace out of five were pure and
of three samples of nutmeg examined all
were pure. Mr.. Richardson's experience
leads TO the conclusion that the public
has the power in its own hands to
effect a reform in the matter of spice
adulteration. The quality OF the article
is usually fixed by the retailer, who
names the price he is willing to pay. The
grinder thercupon estimates the amount OF
pure spice he can afford to put in, and fills
out the order with refuse Mr.. Richard
son incidentally mentions a New York
spice grinder who within a short
time worked off 5000 pounds of cocoanut
husks.

lection of Judge. Cooley chairman.

maker the three Democratic mem
bers, held a conference, in which it.
was decided that in view of Judge
Cooley's long experience and eminence as
a Judge and in order to demonstrate TO the
country that it was their object TO promote
harmony and unanimity Colonel Morrison
should propose and Mr.. Bragg second Judge
Cooley's nomination. The first business
that will come before the board after MS
organization will be the fixing Of the time
ana place for the hearing of questions TO be
submitted by II. II. SMITH. vice president

house yesterday afternoon by plunging
down the elevator shaft from the third floor.
He fell distance of eighty feet and crushed
In his skull The cause of the rash act was
mental arrangement, superinduced by hal
luclnations that he was about to become in
sane. A few minutes before two o'clock
he entered the building and sauntered int
the United States court room. Several
persons met him in the building and he
appeared in his usual humor. He
was seen to leave the United States
Marshaps Office and stepping into
the elevator gate passed out OF view. A
few minutes later he was brought out Of
sub basement dead. In his pocket was
found a letter to his wife, stating that two
years ago he contracted malaria at Aspln-
wall and had failed to recover, the disease
settling in his spine. Recently he had been
troubled with insomnia and frequent nerv-
BUSINESS. Visions invited him TO join his
dear friends, and, fearing lest he should be
burden to his wife by becoming a lunat!c,
and his estate of so, 600 being in order, I'M
impaired and productive, he determined 10
end his life.
Thomas c. Reynolds was born IN Charles
ton, S. c., in 1921. He studied in the Uni
versity of Virginia and continued his edu-
cation in Germany, graduating at Heidel-
berg, in 1912. He spent one year in the
